  • Specification

The MS27201A Remote Spectrum Monitor is engineered for permanent deployment in remote RF monitoring applications. With frequency coverage up to 54 GHz and 110 MHz analysis bandwidth, it captures and processes wideband signals ideal for surveillance across public safety, defense, and commercial telecom bands.

Designed for 24/7 remote operation, it integrates easily into network monitoring systems using Ethernet control, while its built-in watchdog timer and auto-recovery mechanism ensure uninterrupted performance even during power failures or network disruptions.

The MS27201A includes support for intelligent trace analysis, event detection, IQ capture, and modulation quality measurements for critical communication standards including 5G, LTE, and WCDMA. Its PC integration enables advanced post-processing and long-term signal recording using Anritsu’s Vision and ARRT software suites.

Perfect for applications like spectrum regulation, interference hunting, satellite uplink monitoring, and national defense, this rack-mounted analyzer combines compact design with enterprise-grade RF performance.
